Plimpton, Sarah.Somewhere Else. [New York 2003 - One of 20 copies, each signed in pencil by the author / artist and hand- numbered on the colophon, all on Magnagni Pescia cream paper. Page size: 10-5/8 x 7-5/8"; 20pp. Bound: loose folios in original putty-colored Twinrocker rustler handmade paper wrappers printed in black; housed in salmon-colored cloth clamshell box by Claudia Cohen. Printed letterpress in Garamond light in 18pt. at The Grenfell Press in New York by the artist / author. Each page is double-spread with the text going across both pages enfolded by the abstract images. The images are original lino cuts for the gray and woodcuts for the black, editioned by the author with the assistance of Leslie Miller at The Grenfell Press. This is a beautiful book with the black images floating on top of the gray lino cuts, giving a depth to the page that is completely unexpected. The poem leads the viewer / reader to reflect on what is really seen, light distortion, and ultimately what is real. The letterpress text and original graphic art lead the viewer / reader to the same reflection. This is a fascinating confluence of word and image - deceptively simple and elegant.

Tom McCarthy, International Necronautical SocietyCalling All Agents: Transmission, Death, Technology London: Vargas Organisation, 2003 Report by Tom McCarthy (acclaimed author of Remainder, Men in Space, C, Tintin and the Secret of Literature) founder and General Secretary of the International Necronautical Society (INS). 20pp, with diagram.This is the last copy of the original edition, copied once to initiate the series of Authorised Copies. The out of date publisher's address and ISBN have been obliterated from the inside back cover. Some creases towards the spine. Uniquely marked copy of an extremely scarce item. Ur-original of the copies authorised by the INS Department of Propaganda in accordance with the INS Declaration on Inauthenticity.INS General Secretary Tom McCarthy's second report to the International Necronautical Society analyses and maps the testimony of the witnesses arraigned at the Second First Committee Hearings held at London's Cubitt Gallery in 2002 on the subjects of wireless communication, cryptography and broadcasting. McCarthy develops the themes of encoding, encryption and entombment, transmission, subjectivity and death, as the model for the INS's own Radio Broadcasting Unit which was installed at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, in 2004. This work of the INS was in turn the model for McCarthy's Booker Prize-shortlisted novel C. In Cocteau's 1950 film Orphée, in scenes modelled on the secret communications networks operated by the Résistance during the Second World War, the hero hears lines of coded radio transmissions from a dead poet. In Calling All Agents, INS General Secretary Tom McCarthy argues that this conjunction of the technological, the aesthetic and the political is loaded with contemporary significance. He maps the transmission-reception figure across Freud, Heidegger, Hergé, Burroughs and Nabokov, the invention of the telephone and the discovery of Tutenkhamun, connecting it with contemporary artistic strategies and wireless technologies.

SAINT-EXUPERY, ANTOINE de; Translated from the French by KATHERINE WOODSTHE LITTLE PRINCE (1943) 1960 Per FIRSTS Magazine, Oct. 2003 New York: Harcourt , Brace & World. [1943] 1960, Per FIRSTS Magazine, October 2003 - Pictorial DJ has clipped front inside flap, top and bottom; dust soiled; small chips on corners and spine edges; closed tear on back top spine edge. Has the Following points with regard to Katherine Woods Translation: THE SHEEP TEST (p. 18): Katherine Woods made one very obvious mistake in her English translation. The error occurs in Chapter 4, in the sentence: Il était une fois un petit prince qui habitait une planète à peine plus grande que lui, et qui avait besoin d'un ami. The correct translation is (to use Irene Testot-Ferry's translation): 'Once upon a time there was a little prince who lived on a planet scarcely bigger than himself and who had need of a friend'. Katherine Woods translated this as 'Once upon a time there was a little prince who lived on a planet that was scarcely any bigger than himself, and who had need of a sheep.' To test if a translation is based on Katherine Woods' version, one rule of thumb is to check if it uses 'sheep' instead of 'friend'. THE TRUE STORIES TEST (p. 7): Another, less clear-cut test is found in Chapter 1, where the narrator refers to a book, Histoires Vécues. Vécu is the past participle of vivre 'to live', so this literally means 'Lived Stories', that is, stories that have actually been undergone or experienced. In more idiomatic English, this can be translated as 'Real-life Stories'. Irene Testot-Ferry translates it as 'True Stories'. Katherine Woods translates this book title as 'True Stories from Nature'. Since there's no reference to nature in the original French, it stands to reason that a Chinese translation including a word equivalent to 'nature' is based on Woods' English version. THE LOOK TEST (p. 79): At Chapter 25, there's a discussion about people not finding what they are 'looking for'. The little prince says: Mais les yeux sont aveugles. Il faut chercher avec le c&#156;ur. This is translated by Woods as: 'But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart'. [Attributes: Hard Cover]
